there was not enough political will or capital to make change happen, now there is.
Political will to do what, exactly?
the Persians had the hammurabic law, then England had the rosetta stone or whatever back in the 1200's. then we scripted the constitution.
then, the federal gov't still opted to practice involuntary servitude to enrich the ah, rich?
the blacks, the Appalachians, the middle class, the westerners, the Easterners, and the far-westerners need to meet at the RoundTable to sort out all of the bull schit that is encompassing us.
Well that's cool, but have you ever stopped to think what it says calling anyone not from the south a "Yankee"? On one hand people from the south want to make the point that their flag is about southern pride, that nobody alive was ever a slave, nobody alive ever owned slaves, then you call people "Yankees"?
Well, if they are not from the south, and they is liberal, around here, that's makes em a Yankee. Hell I was born and lived in CA my whole life, I've been called a Yankee.
This guy is calling himself a southerner just to get your attention, which apparently worked.
No, his accent got my attention. Wasn't thick, but it was there. Here I am thinking, crap, another southern yankee spewing his southern yankee crap. So I googled a little and saw he was a lawyer in Florida. I knew right then, I had to let Bristoe know.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
I haven't read all of the replies on this thread. At 80 years my attention span is short. I lived in Wisconsin for 69 years near Madison (the liberal capital of the world). I have the greatest respect for the South and for the cause they fought so valiantly for. My great-grandfather served in the Wisconsin Regiment so I believe I have some voice here. The Civil War was not about slavery but State's Rights and Lincoln's ego. No president ever cost so many patriotic American lives - North and South. v
You know I don't hate anyone. I really don't. And I am not trying to convert anyone to my way of thinking and conviction. Especially, through hate.
Hate is evil and should be deserved for things that deserve to be hated like cancer.
Trying to change any other person's beliefs via hatred is just going to wind up in 2 giant steps backwards.
At the same time please do not throw what you believe and desire in my face and expect acceptance. I can make my own MY decisions. I do not visit your picket line nor do I care to start my own.
no need to be so damn reactionary Scott. Besides, you aren't even a yankee, what with living out in what, Oregon?
Sam, Father born in NJ, mother born in OH, I was born in Little Falls, NY. Lived in NY for two years, OH for ten years and Missouri until I left for the Navy.
Any of those states sound Confederate to you? If you hate all who have lived in Yankee land then I recommend you exercise your ignore button.
A friend of mine is Mexican.He says everyone north of the Rio grande is a Yankee.In Europe everyone from The USA is a Yankee.Whoops!!!!
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
